the question is WHAT MAKES THEM CLOGGED? Cholesterol is synthesized through our Liver through means not under our immediate control (what we eat)--that is, our TOTAL cholesterol number is pretty meaningless; it's when we get into the breakdown of our readings that we find the ratio of LDL(
) and HDL(
) and Triglycerides(Blood fats)That reflects the effects of diet.
arterial inflammation is the real culprit, not foods that contain cholesterol.
in a sense, cholesterol is fine for humans in any amount,
except when it is paired with copious amounts of sugars,Wheat and bad fats(Trans, Pufa O6)Sugars and wheat are, as you know ,Carbohydrates.So are fruits.
Is Fructose bad? Yes. Is Fructose in fruits bad? Some researchers think so.some don't. I myself am waiting for more conclusive Data.but I won't be downing 30 Bananas a day in the interim
and no, "just not eating cholesterol" is NOT a free pass to clear arteries, sorry.
